Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Haha, the groom is only wearing his underwear. That's hilarious."

"Xu Damao, you're such a rascal, but today is Shazhu's wedding, so we can't get angry no matter how we joke around."

Someone reminded Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao did this entirely out of revenge against Sha Zhu.

Once, Xu Damao got drunk outside, and Shazhu knew that he often had affairs with other women.

So they hid Xu Damao's underwear, tied him to a pillar, and let him spend the night in the freezing cold.

Xu Damao was almost frozen to death at that time.

If Sha Zhu is ruthless, then don't blame Xu Damao for being unjust.

It's considered unlucky if the groom turns hostile at his own wedding.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists and swallowed his anger.

Seeing Sha Zhu's embarrassed expression, Xu Damao was secretly delighted.

Xu Damao was no longer satisfied with the traditional wedding night pranks. Now, he was convinced he would become the head of the security department, so he wanted to brag.

Soon it was time for the big meal.

Xu Damao didn't pay a single penny, but shamelessly sat down at the table to eat at the large table.

Sitting at the same table with him were Liu Haizhong and two young men in the middle of Liu Haizhong's head, one named Liu Guangtian and the other Liu Guangfu.

There is also Yan Bugui.

Seeing Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui standing nearby, Xu Damao couldn't help but want to brag.

"Second Uncle, I'm about to become the deputy head of the security department. Shouldn't you move out of here too?"

At this time, Liu Haizhong had not yet established a relationship with Director Li, and naturally had not yet become the leader of the workers' picket team.

Hearing Xu Damao speak with such certainty, Liu Haizhong snorted.

He just couldn't stand Xu Damao's smug attitude.

"Come on, you're just a movie projectionist, what kind of deputy head of the security department are you? Isn't that a huge joke?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also felt that what their father said made sense.

"What can Xu Damao do? All he does is flatter and fawn over the leaders, eating and drinking with them."

"Everyone knows that you, Xu Damao, only became a film projectionist by flattering and currying favor."

"What are you showing off for?"

Xu Damao and his second uncle never got along, and he had always disapproved of his uncle's behavior.

Xu Damao believed he had real skills, while his second uncle Liu Haizhong was simply embellishing his own reputation.

Li Jianjun happened to be sitting next to him.

Li Jianjun was the matchmaker for Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi, so naturally he was also invited to take the lead.

Xu Damao snorted.

"Second Uncle, don't you believe me? This deputy head of the security department is definitely mine!"

After turning his head, Li Jianjun questioned Xu Damao.

"You want to be the deputy head of the security department? You're just bragging without thinking."

Yesterday, Lin Xiuying promised him that she would whisper something in Director Li's ear.

Li Jianjun knew Lin Xiuying's position in the family and the power of her influence.

Therefore, he felt that the position of deputy head of the security department should belong to him.

Now that Xu Damao is saying this, he's probably hooking up with Director Li.

"How come I, a staff member in the security department, knew nothing about this?"

Xu Damao chuckled.

"This is a decision made by higher-ups. How could a lowly clerk like you possibly know about it beforehand?"

Because of his connection with Director Li, Xu Damao was very confident, and his gaze toward Li Jianjun was full of contempt.

What does a lowly clerk know?

"How dare you question me here?" Xu Damao ignored Li Jianjun and directly patted his chest to tell everyone.

“I just met with Director Li yesterday, and he assured me that the position of deputy head of the security department would definitely be mine.”

"Li Jianjun, I'll be your boss then. You better work hard for me, and I, as the deputy section chief, will make sure you don't suffer in the future."

Li Jianjun curled his lip, realizing that Xu Damao really thought highly of him.

Even if Director Li were incredibly foolish, he wouldn't go against his wife's wishes.

However, since the outcome of the matter has not yet been determined, Li Jianjun cannot draw any definitive conclusions.

He was always a low-key person, and after glancing at Xu Damao, he said coldly.

Whether you lead me or not remains to be seen.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui both pursed their lips.

"Bragging? Anyone can do that."

"That's right, Xu Damao probably wants to regain some face at Shazhu's wedding. After all, he was completely dominated by Shazhu before."

"However, it's hard to say. Xu Damao always gives that kind of response. I heard he's been drinking with Director Yang. He must have a good relationship with Director Yang."

"It was far too easy for Director Yang to appoint him as a deputy section chief."

"However, given Xu Damao's physique, it's not impossible for him to become the deputy head of the security department."

After everyone had discussed it for a while, the big table was finished eating, and then everyone went home to their own mothers.

That night, Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi were to consummate their marriage.

After finishing their meal, many young men prepared to go and watch Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi's wedding night.

This is called eavesdropping.

This time, eavesdropping was different from before; this time, it was eavesdropping on a young man and an old woman talking behind a wall.

Everyone went there with a playful attitude.

They wanted to see how Sha Zhu would approach the old and ugly Jia Zhangshi.

It feels like there's a thrill in peeping at someone else's forbidden love.

Below Sha Zhu's house, a row of big heads had gathered.

"Ergou, go over there."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, don't let Sha Zhu know, otherwise we won't be able to see or hear anything."

Some young people had already prepared to eavesdrop tonight; they deliberately tore a small hole in the red paper covering Sha Zhu's window.

You can see directly inside through this small hole. You can see Sha Zhu standing in front of the bed, while Jia Zhangshi is sitting on the edge of the bed, looking very excited.

They had been waiting for quite a while when Sha Zhu sighed and sat down far away from Jia Zhangshi, not even wanting to look at her.

The people outside the window were getting increasingly impatient.

They'd been waiting for almost an hour, but Sha Zhu hadn't made a single move, and everyone's legs were getting numb.

Jia Zhangshi probably guessed what Sha Zhu was thinking, so, seeing what Sha Zhu was doing, she moved closer to him.

"Zhu Zi, it's almost ten o'clock, you should get some rest."

If Qin Huairu hadn't said that going out on one's wedding night was unlucky, Sha Zhu would have really wanted to run away.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi still in such a wretched state, he was burning with rage.

"Get out of my way and don't bother me."

Sha Zhu was so angry he wanted to curse.

But Jia Zhangshi's next words startled him.

"Zhu Zi, if you do this, then what happened between us the other day... will be revealed... wouldn't that be bad?"

Sha Zhu immediately knew what had happened.

This is the most regrettable thing that Sha Zhu has ever done in the first half of his life.

If I hadn't slept with Jia Zhangshi in a daze, none of this would have happened now.

Looking at Jia Zhangshi's old face and her wrinkled skin, he felt so disgusted that he couldn't even eat.

"You dare, Jia Zhangshi? Let me tell you, revealing this won't do you any good."

Jia Zhangshi looked out the window and said to Sha Zhu.

"You should know that there are eavesdroppers outside. If you are caught, you should know the consequences."

Jia Zhangshi had finally looked forward to her wedding night, and finally had a legitimate opportunity to enjoy it, but Sha Zhu refused to cooperate.

How could she not be anxious?

Sha Zhu was shocked, and only then did he remember the rules of Beijing.

"Hmph, so what if I'm eavesdropping? If an old ox doesn't want to drink water, can you force it to?"

Jia Zhangshi was speechless.

"If that's the case, then while they're all here, I'll tell them about what happened that day."

"I'm so old, what am I afraid of? It's you, though, what if you lose your job..."

Old ginger is spicier; Jia Zhangshi had more than enough control over Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's path was completely blocked by Jia Zhangshi.

He looked at Jia Zhangshi with utter hatred.
